Biomass gasification is an important method to obtain renewable hydrogen. However, this technology still stagnates in a laboratory scale because of its high-energy consumption. In order to get maximum hydrogen yield and decrease energy consumption, this study applies a self-heated downdraft...

Nanometer magnetic solid base catalysts were prepared by loading CaO on Fe3O4 with Na2CO3 and NaOH as precipitator, respectively. The optimum conditions for preparation of this catalyst were investigated. The influence of the proportion of Ca2+ to Fe3O4 on the catalytic performance has been...

In order to crack the tar from biomass pyrolysis, five cordierite-supported monolithic catalysts with different Ni/Co ratio were prepared by vacuum wetness impregnation. All catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed...
